Torta paesana (lit. 'village cake'), also known in English as black cake, milk cake or bread cake, is a cake of the Lombard cuisine, notably from Brianza.[1] Its main ingredients are stale bread, milk and cocoa, often enriched with biscuits, amaretti di Saronno, sugar, pine seeds, raisins, candied orange and citron and aromatized with anise.[2] As a traditional cake, without a codified recipe, it presents a great number of variants.[3] It is homemade or sold in bakeries during autumn, for city festivals[4] or religious celebrations.
